Another Day of Flat Trading ... !!!
Yours truly is at a loss on what to write about the trading these days. All right, here it is ! The Nifty futures opened flat, traded flat in a narrow range and closed flat on Tuesday.
Here are some random observations too ! The Nifty futures tested the day's low of 5410 twice during the day. The second test happened later in the day when the European markets were rallying. The test of the low seems to have failed, at least for the day, and therefore, it may try to test the highs once again. The late strength in the international markets seems to support this opinion too. Here is the follow up on the reported uptrend seen in the true ranges which was mentioned in the last post. Well, Tuesday's low range bar seems to have nullified the uptrend in volatility.

As matter of abundant caution, it is reiterated that the market is still range bound by all effects and therefore, the risks of the system indicating whipsaw signals are extremely high.
"Readers of this blog may please note the following 'Risk Factor' which is being repeated almost daily these days. The markets are trading in small ranges at the top end of a slow climb and for all practical purposes the trading is range bound. Range bound markets are not suitable for the profitable trading of the Momentum Signal system."
"As the Momentum Signal is primarily a trend following system, it may indicate whipsaw signals in range bound markets. As such, all readers of this blog are requested to read the various pages describing the system and understand all the intricacies of trading the Momentum Signal and it's risk factors too. Please do write in your comments and suggestions."
Cheers and Prosperous Investing and Trading !!!
